Some of the most popular companies that sell hard drive crushers are Degausser India, Disk Doctors, Gotrax, and Datavac. All three of these companies recently started an online campaign to raise awareness for the dangers of leaving personal data on hard drives in India. Online shoppers can find all sorts of different models on each company’s website which are designed to be shipped overseas. Some are more expensive than others, but they all have similar features.
A new law has been proposed in India to ensure that hard drives are destroyed more securely. When an electronic device is disposed of, the hard drive should be removed and then shredded. If the hard drive is not removed, it can be sold or reused by someone with access to the device. The government wants to avoid this because if someone acquires sensitive information, they could sell it for money.
India has announced the development of a high security hard drive crusher. The government is hoping that this will be able to destroy all data on any computer, thus making it accessible only to the owner. India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi was quoted as saying “I want to bring in a regulation which says that anyone who wants to sell or buy or store devices with hard disks should take care of them so they are not hacked”. The government is hoping this will help protect both consumers and businesses.
